Welcome Lucylu!!

With the understanding that addiction is a disease and the realization that we are powerless over it as well as over people's lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own.

Then, and only then can we be of any help to others.

Welcome to the family!

I saw your post under another section and I moved it to the mail Recovery Forum so that it doesn't get lost and we all have an opportunity to Welcome you to our Family.


I discovered last week that my 33 daughter has been addicted to meth for the past four years. I am grieving. She is scheduled to go to rehab next Monday but I have read so much on the internet that I think that is a lie. She has lost her business and we have been shutting things down for the past week. She lives with me but if she does not go on Monday, she will have to leave my house. Please pray that I will be strong enough to do this. God bless.


Go to Nar-Anon.org for a list of meetings near you. If there are none, try Al-Anon. Just please do find a meeting. Go at least 6 times before making any decisions on if you "like" it or not. It takes awhile to find a comfort level. Come to our online meetings. There is one almost every evening. Check under Announcements for days and times.

Keep Coming Back....we do understand what you are living through, we are also right there with you. You are never alone, never again.

Hugs....
with Love

Hi Lucylu and Welcome to the Forum.....You have found a wonderful place to gain strength and courage from the experiences and sharing of others on this site.

It is so very painful when we come to the discovery or realization that our ALO's are slaves to their addictions. My qualifier is my AS and I have had the deep pain, sadness, and grieving you are experiencing. Sounds like you have put your boundaries in place. I know how very hard it is to follow through with the consequences. No matter how old our children are, we are their mothers and want to help them.

Unfortunately, my sons addicition is out of MY control. If I let my mind wander (project), it will do nothing but cause tremendous anxiety. One day at a time is all we can ask of ourselves. If/when the day comes for you to make a decision regarding your boundaries, may you have the courage and strength to do what brings YOU serenity. God Bless and May You Find Peace, Just For Today....

Hi LucyLu,

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I am also new to the site and your post hit home with me. Two years ago I found out my 34-yr old brother had been addicted to meth for 4+ years. Like your daughter he also lost his business.

I will cross my fingers your daughter does indeed seek treatment. It's great that you found this site soon after your discovery about your daughter. The meetings really do make a difference.

Hugs,
Lulu's Mom
